Yours mustnt be the only done up celica, i would do a search and perhaps check out some other hotted up celicas and see how much they sell for. Alternatively you could add up all the cost of mods ontop of the price of the car! But it really comes down to what you would like to get, you must a have a figure in mind!

I just a had a quick browse on carsales.com.au, and there arent too many in this model, i'd probably go for around 5 or 6K if i were u, especially if the body is a good as u say.!

WOW! I put the rimms on her tonight and damn it looks dead sexy.
I also put a 4sale sheet asking 5k ono and while cruising 3 people pulled me over  out of which 2 test drives are organised!
It still desperately needs a polish and I think I noticed some rust coming back through  I also noticed where my missus scraped it along a wall so im going to have to cut back the rear quarter panel and spray that again 
Anyways all will be fixed before the sale which I know isnt real cost effective but I couldnt see it go incomplete.
I forgot to mention in the first post that it has the thick sound deadening through her aswell as retractable seatbelts up front and brand new seatbelts in the back.

I'd say aim at 5k - 6k...
As it has a completely original interior (well as far as I can see) its a big selling point. I know I would prefer a car (at this age anyway) with a standard interior in great condition...it adds a lot to the rarity factor.
and if you can get me a good condition uncracked black dash pad, I'll take it...at this stage I wouldn't mind having a spare.

Thanks GT,
The only fault is the front doors had holes cut in them for speakers dont worry i bought them like that 
Im bloody getting stopped everywhere,even got pulled over by a cop today so he could ask me whats in it etc,he's coming round on sat with his daughter to take it for a drive 
I hope his daughter is hawt 
The only thing is if I sell it with the rimms they are going to need to be balanced in a big way,its just bloody dangerous.Im going to check everything else with the bearings when i put new rear drum pads on this week.But other than that its forking cool to drive,was also in the wet all tonight and all my effort to not have any leaks hasnt gone in vain  no problems at all.
Forgot to mention in the write up that the front subframe was completly re welded and capped as it had a little rust in it I wasnt happy about..
All PMs have also been replied to.
Cheers
Nathan

Yeah whoever says newer style rims dont look good on old celicas can eat their words Saying that I have a set of hotwires to go with whoever buys her if that your preference instead of these ones..

Whats the thing under the number plate?
BTW on the topic of number plates...do the thinner number plates fit better in the bumperbar mouldings than the full size ones? I was thinking about getting the thinner ones myself.
What work has been done to the 2T as well if you don't mind me asking?
Get me that damn dash too! Where on earth are you getting your as good as new black interior bits and pieces from???
GL with sale too...although sounds like you won't need much
Maybe TA22's are finally starting to be worth something.

Thats where the fron subframe was welded,its seriously the strongest part of the car!!
The smaller ones fit fine and look heaps better in my opinion.
The 2T was worked years ago,and had the head ported and polished,it was apparently bored out to 17-1800cc the cam was also ground.I have taken on many 3t's and none could keep up that well.bear in mind im a gun driver though My cousins 4age wasnt making that much on me today either.
The dash has an unremovable cover on it but from what I can tell is fine underneath.Theres a place in silverwater that will re-do them for about 250 but i have bought and sold them in the past for about 120 if you look hard enough.Infact I think the first thing I ever bought through toymods was a mint black dash for my ST
The door trims and carpet came from roadrunner,when he was stripping his celica and the mint seats were swapped for a set of mint front guards and took 6 months to get in the end.I hope your enjoying the fronts out of that set as they would have gone really well with this one as the front seats in this arent really any good,does tham mean the interior isnt immac I might have to change that..
Basically as you know it just takes heaps of bloody time to aquire all these things and also keep on aquiring them for trading etc,thats pretty much been my theory the whole way along,If i didnt need that part at that moment I knew someone in the US or europe was after it and was willing to swap somthing i needed instead.
I also hope they start to get the price they deserve,especially in the coming weeks
